We're now ready to announce the winner in the Computer Tips Contest! I've read through and sorted and re-read through almost 500 computer tips. The top ones were narrowed down then sorted through again to come up with the 4 best tips.
The most useful tips I read were those that were probably not known by everyone and yet would be useful to almost everyone. So we'll start with what the prizes are again, then get into the winning entries...

We'll start with today's anouncement for the 3rd Prize Wiinner for Best Computer Tip...
"The best tip I ever received was to back up my computer regularly onto cds, even though I use an external hard drive also as a back up already. Prior to getting that tip, I was using a brand new external hard drive for my main backup source. Unfortunately, it crashed unexpectantly, and I lost everything!!! I never dreamed that I would need to worry about it crashing so quickly, so of course, I did not have anything saved on any other media. I learned the hard way!"
